This fund was established in memory of Zach by his family to support youth leadership opportunities in Hancock County, in particular the ECLIPSe program.

Zach was known by all as a caring and giving individual. He was extremely bright and never hesitated to help his classmates. Always surrounded by friends, Zach loved to dance for fun and even had a special dance he made up they called the “jig”.

Zach enjoyed volunteering to help others and was a member of ECLIPSe (4 years), Hancock Youth Leadership (Class of 2007/08) and the Liberty Benton Z-Club service organization. He was chosen to serve as a Hancock County schools representative for the 2005 100 Best Communities celebration in Washington DC.

Zach also enjoyed sports and was a two-year member of the boys basketball team (including the 2007 OHSAA Boys State Runner-Up Team) and a three-year member of the boys soccer team. He was a member of the Spanish Club, Treasurer of the Class of 2009 (3 years), and a member of St. Michaels’ Parish and the Life Teen Group.

A junior at Liberty Benton High School, Zach was a 4.0 student and was inducted posthumously into the Hancock County National Honor Society.
